✽ ✽ NOTICE
• Make sure to refuel with unleaded
fuel only.
• Check to make sure the fuel filler
cap is securely closed after refuel-
ing. A loose fuel filler cap may
cause the "Check Engine"
(Malfunction Indicator) light in
the instrument panel to illuminate
unnecessarily.
• If the fuel filler cap requires
replacement, use only a genuine
Kia cap or the equivalent specified
for your vehicle. An incorrect fuel
filler cap can result in a serious
malfunction of the fuel system or
emission control system.
• Do not spill fuel on the exterior
surfaces of the vehicle. Any type of
fuel spilled on painted surfaces
may damage the paint.
(Continued)
• DO NOT use matches or a
lighter and DO NOT SMOKE or
leave a lit cigarette in your
vehicle while at a gas station
especially during refueling.
Automotive fuel is highly flam-
mable and can, when ignited,
result in fire.
• If a fire breaks out during refu-
eling, leave the vicinity of the
vehicle, and immediately con-
tact the manager of the gas
station and then contact the
local fire department.
